Craft blue blue necks and blue yellow rings (River's Heart and Sun's Radiance) and d/e them. The gems themselves do not sell well, there is 1 blue cut that everyone and their mother sells (PVP Power) and the yellow gems sell for nothing from what I have seen. Deposit costs make the items themselves not worth selling, and if you get a d/e proc you just got over what you could have gotten for the mats, and shards always sell.

Not started using them up yet, outside of gearing an alt I just got to 90... but yeah, I see D/E mats being the way to go with them in general.

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

Create necklaces (widow chain), disenchant and create Sha Crystals. But it depends on the AH price on your server of Ethereal Shards and Serpents Eyes. On average, Ethereal Shards will be between 60 and 80 gold a piece. Serpents Eye's go from 2g to 30g a piece, so basicly, you just want to keep an eye on your AH, and buy cheap.

You want to keep some of the necklaces, and sell them on the AH, but demand is low, so putting up 20 is useless, but you can always sell 1 or 2 for more gold then a Ethereal Shard is worth. Bountiful bags has a proc chance of 15%, but there is a chance to get x3, x4 or x5, so bump that up to 20%. Do your daily Sha Crystal CD, and use guildy's for that.

So, if a necklace costs 30g to create matswise, and you created 100 of them, you get about 120 shards, which will turn in to 24 Sha Crystals, worth about 500g each, netting total of 12k. You made a profit of 12k-(30*100)3k=9k

So, basicly, you only want to sell serpents eyes if they are worth a lot in the AH. I would say, above 9g it might not be worth to do this method, everything below that results in much more profit.
